of seven decades of innovative collaboration with Western musicians. Archive
footage shows concerts with Zakir Hussain and other key performances filmed
from the 1930s to the present day.

Illustrated booklet which includes a personal hand-written note from Ravi Shankar

one of the 20th century's greatest musicians ...a demonstration-class package.'
Songlines

'two seductive performances...the film is gorgeous, full of beautifully-composed
imagery...'Gramophone

'this is without doubt an essential addition to the collection and a collectors
piece for the future. The DVD shows not only the great musicianship of the man
but his compassion and kindness, along with his determination to use his success
to pass on something of worth in the form of the academy he is building in his
native India.'

in the least bit interested in Indian classical music Both audio and video
quality are superb, and the BBC should be congratulated for this release.'
